#it's about the THOUGHT PROCESS BRO#which is also why asking about symbolism is one of the more interesting questions
(adding op's tags because YES)
No one ever gets ASKED. "Why did u name ur oc the way u did" even tho it's probably one of the more interesting questions u could ask a creator
#for me most of the Thought Process happens with the themes and symbolism#and then I pick names to match the vibe#and usually I go by sound rather than meaning#so like. 'Kyana' is me replacing the 'Solo' in 'Solona' with a crisper sound#'Neilar' was originally a name I used for a male Surana#and I got it from shifting the letters of 'Nerim' around and replacing some for a more melodic sound#Aqun and Adina's names are chosen by meaning though#'Aqun' means 'balance' which fits his initial concept of 'Qunari archer who strives for absolute control to keep his rage at bay'#Adina's name is picked mostly for sound and because I wanted something middle-eastern with an A#but her surname (Saar) is just her taking the good part of 'Saarebas' and using it as a last name#yes she is the kind of person to unironically name herself Danger#I guess there's also Zaria (my Aeducan I haven't mentioned on this blog yet). I just wanted a Slavic-sounding name that wasn't Sereda#and hers means 'Dawn'#and since she lived underground I decided that this wasn't her birth name#so she was born as Sereda but took the name Zaria after being exiled to the surface#................I guess there's also Selene but the reason for her name is literally 'uhhhhhhhhh moon girl'#I. I didn't expect her to become an oc. I just wanted to play pillars of eternity#herearedragons meta
